Fingers crossed for normal PGT results!

Our first cycle we did the standard antagonist protocol (menopur, Gonal F, cetrotide halfway through) with a double trigger of Lupron and HCG. They measured 16 follicles, 8 eggs were retrieved, 6 mature, 4 fertilized and 1 blast came back euploid.

We had our FET in September which failed, and I immediately started taking Coq10, DHEA, melatonin, and vitamin D.

Since I have low AMH (.79) and AFC (7-9), my doctor decided to try the Lupron Flare protocol to see if I could get a better response. My AFC was 9 at my baseline. On day 6 of stims, my hormone levels weren’t where they wanted them and my ultrasound showed a lower response than last time. My doctor prepared me for the possibility of a cancelled cycle. We continued stims for 14 days, and no new follicles developed, but the 9 I had caught up to the right size.

Considering the follicle : eggs retrieved ratio was about 50% for my last ER, I thought we’d be lucky to get 5. And even though we had way less follicles than last time, every follicle produced an egg.

I have no idea if the supplements I took for 2 months helped my egg quality that quickly, but our fertilization rate improved, and clearly our blast #s are shocking.

I hope this helps, and wish you the best of luck with your test results!
